roller derby

bay city bombers vs arsd all stars

it was out at the alameda county fairgrounds
outdoor banked track
it was interesting
it was a lot more cheesier than i expected
i did have fun though!!!!





towards the end is a good shot of a tumble...



tumble and fall



GIRL FIGHT!!



the manager of the all stars is kicking the opponents


next weekend i am going to check out the oakland outlaws vs port city roller girls
out in richmond. i hope its a calm evening. my last adventure out to richmond was a tad bit scary....but i made it out alive...then again it does not beat out the drive by shooting while i was sitting at a traffic light near jack london square.

ill keep you posted on how that league is. if they are as cheesy. i highly doubt it. looking at these girls. they look like they know how to have FUN!!!


on other news i did break a few needles yesterday but this is the best...


my machine said..."i am done with you...take that!!!"
never warped a needle before. it usually just snaps pieces off

but i finished 3 doggy blankets :)





i downloaded a few patterns today! i am going to try and work on those today and tweak a few. :)
soo much to do...so little time

etsy listings

i finally got the opportunity to list a few items into my etsy shop since it has just been sitting around waiting for me...







a few zippered pouches and passport cases...
i am still working on an order for 3 dogs and a girl where the wonderful groomer sachie is selling my goodies!!!

remember this batch of sales will benefit rocket dog rescue located here in san francisco i am not affiliated with them. i just "ran" into them while they had a little "fair" going on and thought they were a great team of volunteers. purchases from 3 dogs and a girl will benefit a local group in hawaii.

thank you soo much for your support!!!

nerdfest

is my game of choice....i played and played until my wrists were falling off.


i remember playing this when i was younger and it used to scare me. i played it this time around and thought to myself...why in the hell was i "scared"??



lanea can be real serious when it comes to game play!

i think she can play this game for hours!



to match the skirt i made


here is a 3d game that i think is kinda boring...
